AutoTune® Advanced Presets: The Artists Behind the Signature Sounds
September 24, 2026
Read time: 4 mins
AutoTune Advanced launches with a library of signature presets built by GRAMMY® Award-winning and nominated artists, producers, and engineers. Each preset is designed around the all-new patent-pending DVA™ vibrato engine and the rebuilt correction engine underneath it. These are not generic factory presets. They are the actual starting points these pros reach for on real records, from natural, transparent tuning to the hardest tuned effect.
Load one and you begin from a professional’s own settings, then shape it to your vocal with the full depth of Advanced. Here are the artists behind the sounds, in their own words.
What Are the AutoTune Advanced Signature Presets?
Every signature preset is a real, professional starting point built on the new DVA engine and the rebuilt Modern algorithm, so the tuning can stay natural and transparent or push into the iconic hard-tuned sound while still keeping the character of the performance. Load one that fits the record you are making, then adjust vibrato, formants, retune speed, and everything else to taste.

After more than 30 years of recording and mixing vocals, I know how important it is to have tools you can trust.

It fits seamlessly into my workflow and lets me make creative decisions quickly.

I'm a huge fan of AutoTune Advanced. The biggest improvements are behind the scenes: the new algorithm detects pitch smoother, with lower artifacts and improved sound. The new live mode gives under 1ms of latency, and artists love performing live with it. The Formant Designer has been a game changer. It's the best AutoTune release to date.
Jess Jackson
His presets include from Classic 432Hz and Early 2000s RnB to Hard Tune, HQ - Computer Love, and Octave Up Blend.
David YUNGIN Kim
GRAMMY® Award-winning mix engineer with credits including Nas, BTS, and Nipsey Hussle.
I've been using AutoTune for over 15 years, so I know it inside and out. Advanced feels like a real upgrade. Live mode is crazy fast and keeps the artist locked into the performance. The formant designer gives me more ways to shape a vocal without losing the person behind it, and the modern UI gives an old friend a much needed fresh look.

Look for his presets under Hit Record, KPop, Mouse In The House, and Screw It Down.
Bart Schoudel
GRAMMY® Award-nominated vocal producer & engineer with credits including Beyoncé, Charli xcx, Adéla, Justin Bieber, and Katseye.
AutoTune is as much a part of my day as my morning espresso. It's been an indispensable tool throughout my career and an integral part of pop music, from writing sessions to the perfect take. AutoTune Advanced takes that legacy to the next level, blending speed, flexibility, and ease of use while maintaining nuances like character and vibrato.

AutoTune is the most important plugin in any session that it is in. It's awesome that they are continuing to add in additional features like the new vibrato controls which are great. I like that the most important settings are all right next to each other.
